How can I contribute to the embedded wg?

[frroossst]

I apologise if this is not the right place to ask,

I'm interested in contributing to improving the embedded support in Rust. However, I'm not sure where to start or who to contact. I have already joined the matrix chat and checked out some issues on GitHub, but as a second-year undergrad student with work commitments, I'm a bit time-constrained. Nonetheless, I'm very eager to learn and contribute in any way I can.

I am the software lead for the space design team at my university, and we were all excited about using Rust. However, coming from PlatformIO and C++, we felt that the support and ecosystem for Rust were lacking and a bit too complex. As a result, we decided to stick with C++ for now, but I want to do something to make the experience with Rust more seamless and better, reducing the barrier to entry.

If there's anyone who's experienced in Rust embedded development or who knows the right people to contact, I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can offer.

Thank you!

As already mentioned in the matrix chat, it would be very useful if you pinpoint things that need further clarification and highlight the pain points you find as you go through the docs (e.g. discovery book, the book and more).
You can post general issues not related to any specific documentation resource here, for example.
For guidance, problem-solving and discussion, the matrix room is a good place. Please feel free to ask questions repeatedly as we are all online at different times/days and chat activity buries messages in history fairly quickly.
